   Lots of opportunities in Falmouth, four sailing schools and the third largest natural harbour in the world.

	Hi Nonsailor Hayling Island Sailing Club might be worth considering for a family weekend they have some very good family accommodation with excellent facilities restaurant and bar. Lots going on with sailing courses etc although I am sure your son will be able to hire / borrow a boat or get a crewing job.

	Hi - I wonder if anyone has suggestions as I'm not sure where to start.... My 17 year old son is a keen dinghy sailor. He's actually just qualified as an RYA dinghy instructor. But all his sailing has been inland and he has hardly done any at sea. I want to send him to the seaside for a week or weekend at least to get some dinghy sailing in, this summer, just for fun so he can enjoy it instead of instructing, but I don't know where to begin. I see there are advanced RYA courses in seamanship or racing. Is that a good idea? Or better to just let him hire a dinghy? Are There residential centres he could go to on his own or should we take the family camping by the coast somewhere? Is one bit of sea the same as another or are there better and worse places within a few hours of London? Are there any locations or sailing schools to recommend? Sorry for so many questions, I'd just appreciate some ideas to start....
